Remix takes a different approach: use web standards. Forms, links, HTTP—the stuff that's been working for decades. The framework builds on React but emphasizes progressive enhancement. Your app works with JavaScript, and it works without JavaScript. Nested routing loads data at the route level, so pages load faster. Form handling is excellent—submissions, validation, errors all handled through web standards. The server-client transitions are seamless. We've used Remix for full-stack apps where user experience and resilience matter. The framework's philosophy is refreshing: leverage what the web already does well instead of fighting it. For apps that need to work reliably (e-commerce, forms, content management), Remix's approach makes sense.
Remix's philosophy is simple: use web standards. Forms, links, HTTP—the stuff that works. The framework builds on React but emphasizes progressive enhancement. Your app works with JavaScript, and it works without JavaScript. Nested routing loads data efficiently. Form handling is excellent—web standards, not custom solutions. Server-client transitions are seamless. We've built Remix apps where perceived performance was excellent because data loaded at the route level. The accessibility is better because forms and links work as they should. The resilience is better because apps work even when JavaScript fails. For full-stack apps that need to work reliably, Remix's approach is compelling.
